[ cheers and applause ] fantastic. Fantastic to hear. In that case, lets get to the news. News interview since the election. And its a big sacrifice for him because sunday morning is usually when he tweets about saturday night live. [ light laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] hell find the time. Hell still find the time. During trumps sunday morning news interview he is expected to discuss the agenda for his first 100 days in office. Said trump, wait, i have to be president for a hundred days . [ laughter ] im running a business. Trump adviser, kellyanne conway, told reporters today that donald trump is a huge elton john fan. That can be cured, said mike pence. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i know youre an elton john fan now. But together we can beat this. [ laughter ] Donald Trumps team is reportedly desperate for an alist celebrity to perform at kid rock. Besides kid rock is going to be too busy with his new job as secretary of state. [ laughter and applause ] a new study found that women in the arts earn an average of 20,000 per year less than their male colleagues. Which explains why this woman looks so mad at her husband. [ laughter ] you know, because shes in the arts. When youre in a painting, that mean youre in the arts, according to our writer who wrote that joke [ laughter and applause ] that makes this much sense. At its best at its best that joke makes this much sense. [ laughter ] scientists reportedly predicting that 5 billion years the sun will expand and destroy all life on earth. Though most experts agree this [ cheers and applause ] and finally, finally tonight, according to a new study, playing video games releases the same level of dopamine in the brain as an orgasm. The only difference is, i know how to give my wife a video game. [ laughter ] [ applause ] here you are, dear. Call of duty special ops. You guys, we have a great show for you tonight. You know her as cookie from the smash hit empire. She has a new film Hidden Figures, taraji p. Henson is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] one of our favorites. Also, shes in amazons mozart in the jungle, lola kirke is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] the fantastic actress to talk about her wonderful show. Plus we have chief political anchor of fox news and host of special report, bret baier is here tonight. So looking forward to talking to him about everything going on in the world today. Before we get to all of that, scored an early political win when he claimed to have struck a deal to save more than a thousand jobs at a carrier plant in indiana. But the details of the deal that have since come out have undercut to some degree trumps victory lap. For more on this its time for a closer look. . . [ cheers and applause ] seth donald trump was able to win rust belt states in the midwest in part by fashioning himself as a champion of the working man and impressive feat considering that the only tool hes ever used is a a spork from and in almost every campaign rally, he promised to keep american jobs in the u. S. Offering one specific example, carrier, a company that makes air conditioners and other ventilation systems which was planning to move about 2,100 jobs from two facilitates in indiana to mexico. Trump repeatedly pledged that he would punish Companies Like carrier for outsourcing jobs and would personally intervene to try and stop them. Im not going to let other countries take our jobs, like carrier where they move their everybody. Were not going to lose carrier air conditioning from indianapolis. Were not going to let carrier come in, make air conditioners in mexico, sell the air conditioners to us, across a very Strong Border now without consequence. There will be consequences. They will pay a 35 tax on every air conditioner that comes across the border. Youre looking at a situation in our country where our jobs are being ripped out of our states. They are being ripped out of our states. Theyre being ripped out of our country, like i say it like candy from a baby. Seth who rips candy from a baby . The whole point of taking candy from baby is that its supposed to be easy. You dont need to rip it from them. [ light laughter ] trump is always so much more extreme than necessary. If i see baby with candy, what i do is i punch him out and then together so that when the baby wakes up it is all the more harder for them to track you down. [ light laughter ] then you have the peace of mind of enjoying your candy. Although, in fairness to trump, babies do have much bigger hands than he does. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but apparently apparently trump didnt actually think he would have to live up to his promises. In an incredible moment of honesty, he admitted that the only reason he intervened to cut a deal with carrier was that he saw someone on tv who for whatever reason believed what trump had said during the campaign. Ill never forget, about a week ago ways watching the nightly news. They were doing a story on carrier. They had a gentleman worker, great guy, handsome guy, he was on. And it was like he didnt even know they were leaving. He said, somet
